Another Meme: The 100 Chinese Foods to Try Before You Die
I see kosher Chinese food on the list -- but not Islamic (which is great).
Another Meme: The 100 Chinese Foods to Try Before You Die
Wow, still a lot to try -- but I've had Ant Climbing a Tree, asian pear and so much more! Just got a big bunch of Baby bok choy at the Seattle University district farmers market on Saturday, cooked up very nicely. We still miss the Dan Dan noodles at Mary Chun in Cambridge MA.
Y'know, I've had plenty of congee, but will skip the congealed pig blood next time.

@Gordon--I have definitely eaten pigeons and pigeon eggs, too!

Adam I'm not sure you want to try hot coca cola with ginger. I think that's medicine for a cold or maybe an upset stomach? Also I don't think it's pigeon as in the FLYING RATS, but squab, which is really good.

@kathryn: Oh. I have had pan-fried jiaozi. I just didn't bother to click through to see that they were potstickers. I bolded all the foods I *knew* I'd had, then was waiting to go through and look up all the ones whose names I didn't know off hand. I think I forgot to click through.

word natto doesn't count, chinese stinky tofu is good, esp with rice, just when you have nothing to eat...
Another Meme: The 100 Chinese Foods to Try Before You Die
Hmm, I think I got this list almost covered. The only things left are: Hot coca-cola with ginger, red bayberry, roast pigeon and Yunnan goat cheese. My problem is that I rather die than eat a pigeon. Childhood trauma. Don't ask.

@lawofmurphy oolong is somewhere between green and black. But then, iron goddess is technically an oolong tea, so I do agree with you on the paltry tea selection.
@DennisSC yeah, Xinjiang cuisine is very good, especially the lamb dishes.
Being a Chinese, I think the only food on the list I haven't had were baijiu (too strong for me) and Yunnan goat cheese (I don't eat goat cheese).
